In another editorial today, the LAT quotes from a conversation between the late Jerry Falwell and Pat Robertson that took place shortly after 9/11, according to the LAT. In the conversation, the two Protestant ministers argued that 9/11 was partly or wholly God's punishment for Americans' failure to lead a chaste and virtuous life. The LAT paints that as loony and suggests that Giuliani might be better off without supporters like Pat Robertson.
Giuliani likely didn't ask LAT editors for advice and probably wouldn't listen to them. Were they offering advice? Not likely. Most likely, they were painting Robertson as a kook and Giuliani as desperate for his support.
